Queensferry Crossing

Can any users of the new bridge advise me on traffic flow recently there? Need to be at Edinburgh Airport for 12:00 hrs on Saturday and don't know how much time to allow on for possible hold-ups - any advice appreciated.

As someone who has had experience of the bridge at weekend, not weekdays, leave half an hour early to be on safe side. I traveled back north last Sunday at back of 3pm and there was a minimum 20 minute delay. It was only 10mins for me coz I darted up the lane for North Queensferry and cut in.

Went over it today for the first time. 8.am and it was 30 mph going north but no stopping. Noticed the southbound was running free as well. Used tae be queues way back up to Amazon with the old bridge. Came back over at 12.30 and straight over as well. Dunno if this morning is typical but a big improvement on the old bridge.

Think I might nip over to Gorgie Farm and count some Chickens before they've hatched

It would seem from the traffic reports on Radio Froth in the morning that the delays are somewhat less than they used to be. I don't listen in the evenings.

I time my runs, on a Wednesday, so that I wasn't much affected anyway.

Time will tell how things might hopefully improve further when the speed restrictions are lifted.

There never really was any issue at that time Bill (IMO)Southbound was always a nightmare between 6.30 - 8am with folk trying to get into Edinburgh for starting work between 8 and 9.
